I am reserving judgement on the iPhone 5, till I see some details and/or bench marks on the new CPU & GPU.
I still think iPhone 4S is a great phone if you don't want a Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note (I plan to get a Note 2 eventually, but we are looking at iPhone 4S or 5 for my girlfriend).
I think the interesting part of the announcements were the iPod Touch & iPod Nano.
This is a good link to see relative specs between iPods http://www.apple.com/ipod/compare-ipod-models/
If your concerned about security the new iPod Touch should be a big step up from previous generation, since it has a A5 series chip, see http://cliffsesportcorner.blogspot.com/2012/05/mobile-security-encryption-bug-fix-for.html for more details.
It also has better (decent!) camera now, and if I understand correctly same display as iPhone 5, previous gen had good display, but it didn't have as good of viewing angles & etc as the iPhones.
AnandTech has short initial impression up http://www.anandtech.com/show/6288/hands-on-with-ipod-touch-5th-gen-ipod-nano-7th-gen-and-earpods
They also cover the new iPod Nano, which Leo Laporte said, seems inspired by the HD Zune, which is a device he liked, link to MacBreak Weekly 316 where Leo starts talking about the iPod Nano http://youtu.be/Stuu9D8bSfs?t=1h50s
The new iPod Nano has built in Pedometer & Bluetooth, which can useful for workouts.
It is also much lighter than a Phone or Touch, which can make a big difference for joggers & runners, that want music or podcast for workouts.
I know before my knees and ankles stopped my running workouts I would often carry just house key in shoe or sock when running outside, because I didn't like how even the little bit of weight from house key felt when running anywhere else.
